Good Idea/Bad Idea Edition 1 - Masturbating at work.

Introducing a new feature called Good Idea/Bad Idea where we break down certain situations that could be a good idea or could be bad idea and ultimately come to a decision about whether it is a good idea or a bad one.

Edition 1: Masturbating at work.

Masturbating is almost always a good idea but you may want to reconsider if you are at work. First off there are logistical concerns. The IT department most certainly would have red flags if you were looking at porn on your computer and magazines are hard to subtly sneak in. Private bathrooms clearly would be the best location but most people do not have access to one and public bathrooms certainly do not provide you with proper privacy. Your office is far too risky because coworkers are certain to need something and closed doors are suspicious. Janitors closets have limited access and all other areas are much too public.

Further red flags include the fact that if you were to get caught you would most certainly run into problems. If a coworker catches you, several things could happen including: them telling the boss, them losing all respect for you, awkwardness in further interaction, possible loss of job, and (or) possible lawsuits. There are similar results should your boss catch you but there is a certainty of a reprimand of some sort.

While it may seem tempting to masturbate at work, the risks ultimately outweigh the payoff and you should not masturbate at work.

Verdict: Bad Idea

Pros: thrill of getting caught could be turn on, you’re masturbating

Cons: could get caught, un-ideal setting, logistical concerns, possible loss of job, possible lawsuits
